"If you are a minister, you should aspire to make contributions to the country at this time, instead of saying that you will retire at the age of thirty..."
This guy started talking more intensively again. Can't this guy's habit of talking a lot be changed?
"The lower official also feels that Zhang Shangshu has a farsightedness that is different from ordinary people. Whether it is for Gaochang or Tubo, he also earns wealth for Lishan. He hopes that Zhang Shangshu can focus less on getting wealth and use it instead.
In Sheji, there is also..."
"Okay." Zhang Yang quickly interrupted him, not wanting to tell the guy how much longer he would continue, "Today we are here to visit the prince."
Li Chengqian smoothed things over and said, "You two are still the same."
My voice is very weak, probably because my tonsils are also inflamed.
Xu Xiaode was worried, "It's all Xiaguan's fault. If Xiaguan was still in the East Palace, he would not have let the prince catch the cold."
"It's okay, it's just that I was so happy when I heard the news yesterday that I forgot about the cold and warmth for a while."
"His Royal Highness, please don't be too influenced by the love of your children." Xu Xiaode warned again.
"I understand."
After chatting in the East Palace for a long time, the prince also said that the supervision of the official school should be stepped up, and he hoped that Xu Xiaode could go to the province to keep an eye on it.
After saying a lot at once, Li Chengqian's throat couldn't bear it.
There are still many people who value friendship.
Zhang Yang walked out of the East Palace and glanced at Xu Xiaode who was still helping to clean up the East Palace.
Walking all the way to Chengtian Gate, you saw Xu Jingzong waiting here.
"Zhang Shangshu, are you going to see the prince?"
Zhang Yang nodded and continued walking.
Xu Jingzong added: "This Ashinadur went to the palace to see His Majesty several times, but we stopped him. He also asked people to send memorials to Zhongshu Province several times, and Zhongshu Province also asked us from the Foreign Affairs Academy to give them to him several times.
Give an answer."
As he spoke, his footsteps followed, "Zhang Shangshu, we were able to block it for a while, but now we can't block it anymore. I don't know how to deal with it."
"Has there been any movement since the little khan on the grassland has been on the throne for so long?"
"The news came that the little Khan had been hunting all day, and he didn't say how he was going to manage it. He is living a good life now with Lishan's business dealings."
Xu Jingzong looked worried, "In the eyes of the lower official, this little Khan is just a idiot."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Idiots are better, just let them have fun all day long. Such people are easier to control."
"What does that Shangshu mean by how to deal with Ashinadur?"
"Let him stay in Chang'an City first and wait until we stabilize the situation in the Turks before making any plans."
"How to keep him?"
After asking this question, Zhang Yang stopped and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Xu, I have always believed in your ability."
"I feel that the Foreign Affairs Academy cannot do without Zhang Shangshu."
Zhang Yang walked along Zhuque Street facing the sun and ignored it.
"Zhang Shangshu, do you still care about the Foreign Affairs Academy?"
The footsteps remained the same, Xu Jingzong stood there and still received no reply.
Seeing the man walking back to the Diplomatic Academy in despair, Zhang Dashu asked curiously: "What's wrong with Mr. Xu? Could it be that something sad happened to him?"
Xu Jingzong looked up and looked at the Diplomatic Academy that had been renovated again. The current Diplomatic Academy was very large, and even the leading military government offices in Chang'an City were not necessarily as spacious as this one.
"I always feel that Zhang Shangshu doesn't want to care about us anymore."
"All the strategies and future plans of the Foreign Affairs Academy were made by Zhang Shangshu. How could he ignore them? I cannot agree with this."
"That's right. The weaker the power in Zhang Shangshu's hands, even if he is impeached for neglecting political affairs, His Majesty will not be too harsh on him."
"Why is it that I can't understand the words of Minister Xu anymore?"
Xu Jingzong lamented, "Zhang Shangshu is able to make choices, is not good at power and is open-minded, but his wealth is wasted in politics. This is the open-mindedness that a wise man should have."
While the two were talking, a clerk from the Diplomatic Academy came over in a hurry, "Two ministers, I just heard from the waiter at the posthouse that Ashinadur packed his bags and headed towards Chunming Gate."
Chunming Gate is the east gate of Chang'an City. Xu Jingzong slapped his forehead and said, "No, quickly ask someone to come with me to Chunming Gate to stop them."
"Here."
Xu Jingzong took off his official hat and ran towards Chunming Gate, followed by more than a dozen officials from the Diplomatic Academy.
A group of officials were jogging in Chang'an City, and passers-by were very surprised.
He ran all the way to the city gate and asked the guards guarding the city.
"I saw the Turk. He left the city gate half a moment ago, bought a war horse and headed east."
Everyone walked out of the city gate with trembling steps and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the official road outside the city.
"Shilang Xu, are we going to chase him?"
"Chasing?" Xu Jingzong pointed to Guandao, "Tell me where to chase him? Do you know where he ran?"
The person who asked the question stopped again, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply.
Xu Jingzong raised his head and said: "Zhang Shangshu, I can't even handle this matter well. I'm sorry for your entrustment."
After a while, I saw the person behind me tugging at the corner of my clothes.
"what happened again?"
"Go back to Mr. Xu, he's back."
"Come back?" Xu Jingzong was a little surprised and disbelieving. He looked back and saw Cheng Chumo riding a horse, with Ashinadur behind him.
His hands were tied with a thick rope and he was being pulled by Cheng Chumo.
Ashnadur, who had a big beard on his face, was so tired that he fell to the ground. He was probably dragged all the way here.
Xu Jingzong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, General Chu Mo, for bringing this person back."
Cheng Chumo stood up and dismounted, "This guy's horse ate the crops in the field. This will lead to punishment. What are you people doing?"
"us……"
I was speechless for a while, I felt so embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.
"I'm bringing this person to justice."
Hearing this, Duer shouted loudly: "My horse did not eat the crops, it ate the wild radishes on the roadside."
Cheng Chumo looked back at him expressionlessly, "What a coincidence, that radish was grown by me, the young general."
I don't know whether to cry or laugh, this Turkic Tiele's expression is very complicated.
Cheng Chumo pulled the rope again and led him into Chang'an City.
Everyone in the Diplomatic Academy was still stunned. This scene was a little unreal and a little funny.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What kind of bad luck did this Turkic people have to provoke the little general Chu Mo?
"Shilang Xu, what should we do next?"
Xu Jingzong took a deep breath and said, "Find a way to keep this Turk in Chang'an City. The little khan on the grassland is weak and cannot compete with this Turk Teller. Once this person returns to the Turks, he will definitely cause harm to the situation."
Influence."
"Here!" A group of civil servants responded loudly.
Ashinadur's horse was thrown into a dungeon by Dali Temple because it ate crops.
Even if the war horses of the Army Central Guards eat the crops, the soldiers they lead will be punished and imprisoned, let alone this Turk.
Never doubt how much the current court attaches great importance to food.
Xu Jingzong stood outside the Dali Temple, thinking that Ashinadur had just left the city and bumped into Cheng Chumo, and happened to see his horse eating crops, which was a radish, and it happened to be planted by General Chumo.
Where do all these coincidences come from? They are all arrangements.
After all, Zhang Shangshu made many arrangements secretly.
Since the death of Marble Minister Dai Wei, the position of Dali Temple Minister has been vacant to this day. The person handling this matter is Chu Liang, the temporary Dali Temple Shaoqing.
Everyone was the eighteenth bachelor of the Prince of Qin's palace back then.
Chu Liang felt a lot more friendly when he saw Xu Jingzong.
The current Chu Liang is also fifty years old. He was awarded the title of Bachelor of Hongwen Museum at that time, and he also advised the current His Majesty to expand the borders and advocate the crusade against Jie Li.
It can be regarded as a rare radical faction in the court. Now he is a permanent minister and also leads the Dali Temple as a young minister.
"Shilang Xu, are you here to visit that Turk?"
Xu Jingzong saluted him and said, "Chu Shaoqing, I'd better come here and ask about this Turk Tiele and how long Ashinadur can be detained."
Chu Liang frowned and stroked his beard and said: "I heard from the children at home that Mr. Ouyang Xun has a personal relationship with your Zhang Shangshu?"
The answer was not what was asked. Xu Jingzong straightened his expression and looked serious, "How can a subordinate inquire about Zhang Shangshu's affairs at will? This is not good."
"The kid Suiliang admires Mr. Ouyang Xun very much, but this old man has never given him any advice."
It is about Chu Liang's son Chu Suiliang. It is rumored that Chu Suiliang had already achieved calligraphy at a young age, and Yu Shinan also admired him very much.
However, these have nothing to do with the matter that needs to be inquired about at the moment. Xu Jingzong bowed his hands and said, "Since both Xiaguan and Chu Shaoqing were former members of the Qin Palace, please tell me directly."
Seeing that the other party was sensible, Chu Liang nodded with satisfaction, "Let Zhang Yang bring a copy of Mr. Ouyang Xun's authentic calligraphy to my children, so that I can let the Turks be released as soon as possible."
"This..." Xu Jingzong saluted again, "I have an unkind invitation."
"Xu Jingzong, the bachelors in Prince Qin's palace back then each have their own attainments. Do you know why His Majesty doesn't value you?"
"Please enlighten me."
"It's because you are too hesitant to make a decision. When you need to make a decision, others take the lead and what you need to say is said by others."
"Chu Shaoqing has misunderstood. It is not difficult to ask Zhang Shangshu to give him a copybook. The subordinate's unkind request is actually to ask if Duer can be detained for a longer period of time."
Chu Liang was walking back and forth in front of the Dali Temple in official uniform, "Some people come to Dali Temple to fish for people, and some come to intercede and want to release people with light punishments. I have never seen you want to leave people in the dungeon like this."
"The situation of the lower official is somewhat special, and it involves a major plan of the Foreign Affairs Council."
Chu Liang stood still and looked at the street and considered it, "It's not impossible. I can think of a way."
"Then I will ask Shaoqing Chu, and I will send you the copybook if you change the world."
"Walk slowly."
After saying this, Chu Liang turned around and walked into Dali Temple.
Xu Jingzong stood outside the door for a long time. The eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace were all the same, and none of them were easy to deal with.
Zhang Gongjin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Su Xu, and Li Xuandao are each more difficult to deal with than the last.
As the most insignificant person, Xu Jingzong believed that he had to keep his head down and behave in Prince Qin's palace.
Things are different now. I am able to work in the Foreign Affairs Academy on my own.
Xu Jingzong turned around and walked on Zhuque Street again with firm belief.
At this moment, in the dungeon of Dali Temple, Ashinadur was shouting in the still raw Guanzhong dialect, mixed with some Turkic dialects.
To an experienced jailer, such a person will become honest as long as he is starved for one or two meals.
A civil servant told Chu Liang's instructions to the jailer here, and then he knew what to do next.
Tiele of the Turks was also a figure who led soldiers and horses on the grasslands.
Now Ashinadur has realized something clearly in his heart. There is something called the Diplomatic Academy in Chang'an City, and anyone who offends the Diplomatic Academy will not end well.
So did Ludongzan of Tubo, and so did the father and son of Gaochang.
Not to mention Yinan Khan, who is now even more uncertain about his life or death.
"I fought in the Western Regions for Tian Khan, why are you imprisoned like this! I want to see Tian Khan."
Ashnadur's shout echoed in the dungeon.
Since the public security in Chang'an City has been extremely good in the past two years, there are almost no people picking up things on the road, and the dungeons of Dali Temple are also empty.
Imprisoning Ashinadur is only temporary. Fortunately, there are people keeping an eye on him, otherwise he would really have escaped. Zhang Yang was walking in Qujiang Pond thinking about it.
The emperor was fishing not far away. Zhang Yang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have seen the prince's body and there is nothing serious."
Li Shimin said solemnly: "When I came here, I received news that Ashinadur was trying to escape and was captured again."
Zhang Yang looked at his wife, Xiao Wu, and Aunt Yang who were placing paper kites in the distance, "Yes, Auntie told me."
"What are you going to do with Ashina?"
Sitting down on the embankment, enjoying the warmth of the autumn, Zhang Yang put his hands in his hands and said: "Let him stay in Chang'an City first. The young Khan's current position is not stable yet, and he cannot return to the Turks yet."
"He is Horohu's uncle."
"Your Majesty, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. With the current situation in the grassland, the young Khan Luohu contracted the grassland to Lishan. Does your Majesty think he doesn't know about it?"
Li Shimin looked at the lake without saying a word.
Zhang Yang added: "Ashnadur tried to go to the Diplomatic Academy several times but was stopped by people. He clamored for an explanation from Lishan."
"Um."
Seeing Li Shimin nod, Zhang Yang continued to explain, "Your Majesty knows that the purchase and sale of contracted pastures on the grassland is voluntary between both parties. Lishan has never done anything like buying or selling by force, but Ashinadur didn't read
Can he know what kind of book he has read? If we go to the grassland and make random arrangements, and become even more bossy, then our business in Lishan will be ruined, and your Majesty's taxes will be reduced by several percent."
When he heard about the tax issue, Li Shimin's face darkened, "I always deal with matters fairly and I won't help you just because you Lishan paid tens of thousands more in taxes."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Your Majesty is wise."
"You have a very good relationship with the prince. You went to visit him after the court. What did you say?"
"The prince is concerned about the establishment of an official school. I said that I would retire from the court when I am thirty years old. From then on, I will live in Lishan for a long time without paying attention to worldly affairs and concentrate on the study of knowledge."
"Thirty years old? If Zhang Gongjin knows that his disciple has such short-term ambitions, he will probably die in peace."
"This has nothing to do with the teacher."
"He has knowledge under the spring."
"He's not dead yet."
The fish did not bite the hook, and Li Shimin put away the fishing rod and lost interest. "The whereabouts of Yinan Khan are unknown. I have received news that Xue Yantuo intends to support Domi Khan, the son of Yinan Khan."
"Your Majesty is well-informed. We at the Diplomatic Academy are not concerned about Mobei Xue Yantuo, but we have not heard of it."
